LuaTeX includes such a third-party addition for UTF-8 string processing, called Selene (http://files.luaforge.net/releases/sln/slnunicode). You just have to use this, instead of Lua's native string library, if you want to process any UTF-8 string in Lua. Its inclusion in LuaTeX even uncovered bugs, which to my knowledge are now fixed. > How does this > affect what one can do with lua in luatex? It does not, really. And this is not relevant to a discussion about XeTeX.
